Texas mum confronts woman who killed her husband and unborn child

A Texas woman has given a chillingly bold victim impact statement in court, after the woman who killed her husband and unborn child, was sentenced to 10 years’ probation, and a total 14 years’ prison for driving drunk and slamming into their car.

On August 2, 2016, 22-year-old Shana Elliot, drove home drunk after a day of tubing at the local river. Elliot, who also admitted to being addicted to heroin at the time, pleaded guilty after prosecutors showed the jury empty liquor bottles found in her car, KXAN reported.

“I also feel sorry for you that your friends and family didn’t care if you lived or died that day – they just let you go,” said Kristian Guerrero.

Beginning her statement by warning Elliot not to cry, Ms Guerrero showed no mercy to Elliot’s claims of a rough childhood being to blame for her reckless and illegal behaviour.

“Your family didn’t care enough to teach you a lesson,” she said. “And in doing so, you became my problem.”

“I don’t care about your troubled childhood, I had one too,” she said.

She went on to on to tell the court, her husband also had a tough start with his family coming to the country, “With nothing.”

“I am sorry I know you exist, because I wish you never did.”

“I’m sure you and I have both wished it was you that day, not him.”

The judge is yet to confirm whether Elliot’s two seven-year prison sentences are to be served consecutively, or concurrently.

“You have shown you’re incapable of remorse. I don’t buy your crocodile tears or the sweet little innocent girl they try to portray you to be.”, Ms Gurrero finished her statement, “You’re a monster and you’re not sorry for what you’ve done. You’re sorry because it landed you right there. You’re sorry because you got caught.”
